This is a team with Asante Samuel (one of the highest paid corner), Michael Vick (100 million dollar QB), Jason Peters (one of the top LTs), Asomugha (60 million dollar contract), Jason Babin, Demeco Ryans, DRC, Desean Jackson. Why do they have this much cap room??? Because they don't value the guys that they draft (family) as more important than any other player. They don't make a 50/50 running back the highest-paid back in the league when there is a 25 year old stud already on the team. They use this idea called LEVERAGE to build a team instead of overpaying for players when there isn't even any freaking competition to sign the player in the first place.

The Steelers are ready to let Mike Wallace walk if he doesn't come down on his price. They let Porter walk, they replaced probably the most beloved player of all time (Hines Ward) without even a second thought. That is what winning organizations do...they don't start treating these guys like they are irreplaceable if it means it's going to get in the way of winning. They don't pay a running back 6 million bucks a year to rush for 800 yards and 7 TDs. They don't pay a QB 40 million bucks when he just imploded in the playoffs. Hurney's an idiot. Our expectations for a GM are low because we look at teams like the Raiders, Browns, and Jaguars and say it could be worse but the fact is it could be a hell of a lot better.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.

      Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
